A Lot of Hot Air

Plano,Texas,Sunday,Septermber 19,2010:
The 31st Annual Plano Balloon Festival concluded yesterday with the final flights of about 20 baloon teams. The ReMax Sky Divers parashooted to a perfect landing. There were 41 501 (c) (3) non-profits at the event this year. There were radio stations and a tv station there with tents. A rock climbing wall,events for the kids and the food vendors filled the air with that carnival-like smell of fried corn dogs,funnel cakes,bar-b-que and pizza. Iced tea,lemonaide,energy drinks,crafts,energy demos,balloon rides,cars,political candidates made up another row of tents. The crowds were larger than expected and a warmer than usual mid-September afternoon also was everywhere. Parking has always been a problem. The most efficient way around that was to DART to Parker Road Rail Station and take the free shuttle (about a 10-minute ride). The savings on parking fees paid for the first round of food and drink. Ride the rail next year folks!!

The grounds were posted with signs that photography was occuring on the festival grounds. These are editorial shots anyway but here are a few from the afternoon.

The Dream Is Alive

We have added a more professional flash intro to our site. The search for the right music has been a summer's long search. But, finally, we were able to make a decision on a piece of music that conveys our ambitions and our work to build a site that will have the largest single source of stock images of Dallas/Ft.Worth for your viewing and purchases for your projects.

We hope that you,too, will enjoy the music that we are happy to bring to you. The flash intro has been looped so that you can listen as long as you like or can click on the main page at any time you like. The track runs for 3:03 minutes and really isn't that long even during a busy day. But, it's there if you want to listen a bit longer than the three minutes three

It is our hope that you will find the track one that you look forward to listening to more as you go about your busy day.
